The people that walked in darkness
Have seen a glorious light
They that dwell in the land of shadow
Now awaken from the night
The fire burns in Galilee
A star beyond all fame
Hope has come to troubled hearts
And Jesus is his name
For unto us, a child is born
Unto us, a son is given
And the government shall rest upon his shoulders
Strong and driven
His name shall be called
Wonderful counselor, mighty God above
The everlasting Father
Prince of Peace, full of love
Thou hast multiplied the nation
And increased their joy within
They rejoice before thee, as in harvest
As the victors from their sin
He broke the yoke that held them
Snapped the staff of cruel command
As in the day of Midian
He saved with mighty hand
For unto us, a child is born
Unto us, a son is given
And the government shall rest upon his shoulders
Strong and driven
His name shall be called
Wonderful counselor, mighty God above
The everlasting Father
Prince of Peace, full of love
Of the increase of his rule and peace
There shall be no end
Upon the throne of David
He shall reign and never bend
With judgment and with justice
From henceforth and forevermore
The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this
And much more
For unto us, a child is born
Unto us, a son is given
And the government shall rest upon his shoulders
Strong and driven
His name shall be called
Wonderful counselor, mighty God above
The everlasting Father
Prince of Peace, full of love
The blues once wept in darkness
Now they sing of dawning day
For the child who shattered silence
Walks our sorrows away
